This is about as short as I can make a Mike summary:
Mike started doing light goon work around ABQ to make money....one of his clients (Daniel, the base ball card guy) starts selling drugs to Nacho, who is trying to make money on the side with out Tuco knowing. Eventually Daniel fukks that situation up and Mike has to tell Nacho to back off.
While all that is going on Stacy (Mike's daughter-in-law) claims there's constant shooting, gangs, etc. in her neighborhood. Mike finds out she's lying but decides to help her move anyway because he's still guilty over his son's death.
He goes to the veterinarian that hooks him up with goon jobs and tells him he needs more money. The vet tells him he's gotta do deeper goon work and there's a guy looking for a hit man. Mike meets with the client....and it's Nacho. Nacho wants Tuco dead because he's started doing meth and is acting crazy as fukk.
Mike tells him they can't kill Tuco, it would start a cartel war. Mike comes up with a plan (hit Tuco's car, starts a fight with him, etc.) that lands Tuco in jail. It seems like a great idea until Hector steps to Mike like
"my nephew Tuco had a gun on him, you're gonna say it's yours so he can get out of jail early". Mike hires Saul as a lawyer and eats the gun charge because he doesn't have much choice.
Mike's ego can't let that slide so he starts fukking with the cartel behind the scenes. Stealing their money, fukking with their dope shipments, etc. That eventually leads to him plotting to kill Hector, and Gus steps in and tells him not to. Gus has been watching Mike since he started beefing with the cartels, he tells him "I can use someone like you" so he offers Mike a job as a security consultant to help launder his goon money.
And that's where we currently are.
